Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa Possibly Coming Stateside Next Year

Magnolia Pictures has just acquired Steve Coogan vehicle “Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa” (and we hope that you’re familiar with Steve Coogan and/or his radio DJ character Alan Partridge; if not, fix that now please). Not to mention that Veep’s own Armando Ianucci as well as Coogan are writers on the movie, you should get all excited for a potential 2014 release.

Here’s the trailer for Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa by the way if you haven’t seen it yet.

If you’re vaguely familiar with the name Armando Ianucci, please commit it to memory when you get a chance for all the comedic genius he’s been responsible for. The creator of Veep (as well as The Thick of It & In The Loop) stopped by The Daily Show to talk with fellow Brit John Oliver about lecturing MI5 on comedy, simply walking into the state department, and the comedic brilliance of the American political system.

Watch the interview in two parts here and here.
